Sodium benzoate (C6H5CO2Na) is used as a foodpreservative.
1.) Calculate the pH in 0.060M sodium benzoate. Ka for benzoic acid(C6H5CO2H) is 6.5 x 10 -5.
2.) Calculate the concentrations of all species present (Na+,C6H5CO2-, C6H5CO2H, H3O+, and OH-) in 0.060M sodiumbenzoate.
I have no idea where to even begin with this problem. Please showme step by step with correct answer so I can try andunderstand.
THANK YOU!!!
